How do you do it? |
Suicide question. My life does not mean
shite to anyone else or myself, I'm a waste
of space.
This is a serious Q BTW.

You don't. You call your therapist, pdoc or GP. You call a crisis line
(lifeline really helped me once a few years ago). You go to your nearest
hospital. You keep going until morning, and in the morning you do what it
takes to help you feel well enough to get through the next day.
When you get out of crisis mode, you'll have more motivation and energy to
try to find something to give your life more meaning.
If you want to talk, email me at the email addy I'm posting from and I'll
reply with some better contact details.

Seriously, I don't believe suicide is the answer. It's not like
folding in a game of poker when you get a bad hand. Or maybe it is
like poker in the sense that there are always more cards to be drawn,
always more chances to have a winning hand as long as that deck of
cards is in front of you. Remove the deck and end the game and you
have no more chances to find the meaning and joy in life.
If you feel bad because you don't contribute anything in life, can't
that be fixed? Can't you find something that adds value to other
people's lives? And it seems to me that you may be too depressed to
be able to see the value you add to other people's lives. Depression
is, if you'll forgive me for saying this, a rather selfish disorder.
It all concentrates on the self, on things that are inner rather than
outer. I believe that can be remedied. I believe that if we can
force ourselves to look beyond ourselves, we can find hope, and hope
is almost as necessary to life as air and water.
But this probably isn't helping you, is it? It's hard to see
something when you don't believe in it. So here's what I wish for
you:
That you find something to believe in (hopefully that will be
yourself.).
That you force yourself to look beyond the "I'm just a waste of space"
feeling and discover something to be passionate about.
That you wake up one morning and are glad to hear the birds and
traffic noises because it means you've been given one more day to play
a new hand.

Those don't get answered here. Besides, I've looked into it and it
really is a pain in the *****.

Ooh! I don't recommend that way.

I've felt like that more than once, and it eventually passed and
I was glad to still be here. It might take months, even a couple
of years in bad cases, but it will get better. This is
depression talking, not your healthy brain. If you don't have
any, find a therapist and/or psychiatrist and the wait could be
much shorter. If you feel like you can't go another day, go to
the hospital. Research for a good one in your area, the local
crisis line should be able to help you. A fairly short hospital
stay can make a difference in that you'll have an intensive
start on meds and therapy and the ability to talk to people who
are or have been in your shoes.
Good luck with it, dawg. You're good people.

You don't do it, your life does have meaning, even if you don't know
what that is, and you're not a waste of space. That's my serious answer.

Well, you've been nice to me on the group. Being pretty self-centered,
that counts for something in my book. That's at least one thing, you've
add to the positive karma out there in the interpersonal ether. I can
think of many many many more people than you who I would call a waste of
space.
